Discord role workflow after whitelist approval

After a whitelist decision, Discord roles should make the next step obvious for players and staff while keeping game-server access tied to the correct review result.

Role states

  • Applicant role for users who can submit forms.
  • Under review role when staff need time to decide.
  • Approved role after a successful whitelist decision.
  • Rejected or cooldown handling when the applicant should not retry immediately.

Follow-up actions

  • Send a DM or Discord message with the decision where possible.
  • Open a ticket when staff need more information.
  • Keep logs so owners can audit role changes and staff decisions.
